"Independent Bank Corp. awarded restricted stock to the Filer per the Independent Bank Corp. 2018 Non-Employee Director Stock Plan"

Shares granted to an individual that carry limits on transfer or sale until certain conditions are met, such as staying with the company for a set time or hitting performance targets. Think of them as a locked gift that gradually opens; for investors they matter because they affect how many shares may enter the market later, signal management incentives and potential dilution, and reveal confidence in future company performance.
